Yet Another Pane Width Problem

After reviewing previous posts about pane width, none of them seem to work with simply setting the width of a pane and having it show at that width.  It seems that many problems would be answered ahead of time if there were a pane.width and pane.height property that we could just set to what we want and have the pane resize to that property value.

That said, what I am trying to do is show a form on a pane.  That works fine.  However, when the user checks a checkbox, I want the form and the pane to widen out to show more options.  When they uncheck it, I want it to go back to it's original width.  However, the following code isn't quite working:

Set a = frmParent.DockingPaneManager.FindPane(3)
a.MinTrackSize.SetSize 690, 620
frmParent.DockingPaneManager.RedrawPanes

It does change the mintracksize but if I want the pane to show at that width, I have to manually resize it with the mouse.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Yeah, I saw that post.  That's where I originally saw the .RedrawPanes line.  However, I guess I should have mentioned that this is a floating pane and is never docked.

I tried the following:

Set a = frmParent.DockingPaneManager.FindPane(3)
a.MinTrackSize.SetSize 690, 620
a.MinTrackSize.SetSize 690, 620
frmParent.DockingPaneManager.RedrawPanes

but the form still does not resize on it's own.  It does act a little differently now in that if I click on the edge of the form when I have the resize cursor it jumps to the specified size.  Still doesn't do it without the mouse though.

I'm not sure how that helps.  When the user clicks the check box I want the form/pane to expand.  If they uncheck the check box it needs to go back to the smaller size.  I'm confused at how anything in Form_Load would affect the pane getting resized after it's not docked.

Beautiful!

That works.  Thanks!
